What do you call this branch of royalty?

Question

what would you call a female of a royal family who's grandfathers brother was the king?

Answer 1

Well it could depend upon what title her father had and whether she had brothers, but the most likely is 'The Lady'.

Answer 2

There is no definitive answer, it could be a number of different titles (or no title) depending on whether it was her maternal or paternal grandfather (for example Princess Beatrice's daughters' grandfather will be the granddaughter of Prince Andrew, who's brother will be King, however, the children will be untitled if Beatrice marries a commoner.

Answer 3

If her grandfather's brother is king then presumably her great-grandfather was king. In Britain in the past she would have been called princess but this title is no longer used for the sovereign's great-grandchildren.

King George VI's adult brothers who had children, the Dukes of Kent and Gloucester, have a few (five?) granddaughters. They are called 'Lady' (both the daughters of royal dukes, using the same style as the daughters of non-royal dukes AND the daughter of Prince Michael of Kent). Marina Mowatt (nee Ogilvy), a granddaughter of King George's brother and the daughter of Princess Alexandra, gets no special title as the rules governing titles are sexist.

The short answer for the UK is 'Lady', unless she is related to her royal grandfather through her mother and not her father (like Marina).

Answer 4

An "also ran."

Answer 5

A ...B

Answer 6

she would at least be called "Lady" I think. I don't know what you have to do to be called "Dame" (female equivalent to "Sir"?)

Answer 7

All royal children/grandchildren born to a monarch are called Prince/Princess. A prince/princess can also be a duke/duchess (an honorary  title given by the Queen/King). Queen Elizabeth’s first son is Prince Charles of Wales, Duke of Cornwall. Her second son is Prince Andrew, Duke of York. Queen Elizabeth’s husband is Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.

A duchess is a woman who holds in her own right the title to such duchy or dukedom, or is the wife of a duke. Queen Elizabeth II is also Duke of Normandy (title only claimed by English rulers from the 10th century).

A duke/duchess’s children may or may not be given a royal title of a Prince/Princess (royal titles are only granted by the monarch). All of Queen Elizabeth’s grandchildren are giving royal titles with the exception of Prince Edward and Princess Sophie’s daughter Lady Louise of Windsor and Princess Anne’s two grown children. They requested that their children are only to be given titles of either a Lady or Lord because they want them to have a normal life away from all the royal duties that comes with a royal title; however, Lady Louise is still legally a princess and Princess Anne decided not to give her children any titles at all.

Nobility titles such as Lord or Lady are given to duke and duchess’s children who are cousins to the monarch. Prince Edward, Duke of Kent is a cousin of Queen Elizabeth II, and his children are only styled as Lords and Ladies. However, the first-born son is allowed to carry on the “Duke” title.  

With all that info in mind, any royal members who are not directly descendents from a monarch, is probably only given the nobility titles of a Lord/Lady.
